Java

Javanese systems of pencak-silat tend to make a balanced use of the body, although most combative postures seem to suggest that fighters prefer hand and arm tactics and choose postures from which these tactics may be instantly applied; postures of the orthodox styles are very varied, ranging from the upright to the low crouch. Javanese fighters use both the open and closed hand with equal facility. In addition to tactics of the usual striking variety, they are capable also of grappling actions executed from close infighting situations. Javanese pencak-silat exponents are extremely supple and lithe-a fact that probably accounts for the characteristically soft and willow like movements produced by changing combative postures.
